Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days.
Mike Johnson voted “no” on that.
They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

This is not a drill. This is scary and even more disturbing is that DC Police helped DOGE gain entry after they were called to protect the staff inside the building.
The dramatic escalation follows the Trump administration’s Friday gutting of the organization’s board and tees up another court fight between the administration and an independent organization.

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.
“'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'"
Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.

The fear in this child’s scrawl is absolutely heartbreaking. The love he has for his friend is what makes us better people. Let us follow this child’s path of love and not the one of terror.
